Product Summary
Pentax K200D (with 18-55mm lens)
price range: $627.00 - $699.95
Pentax's K200D entry-level SLR gives a lot of bang for the buck and has better performance than last year's model. Despite low noise and pleasingly detailed images, technically inaccurate colors keep it from capturing the gold medal for image quality.
